Exempt Notice - DHS Exempt Procurement Report - June 2026

This is a notice of exempt procurement by the Illinois Department of Human Services, not a bidding opportunity. The Department posted this filing on July 7, 2026 in compliance with 30 ILCS 500/1-10(b) and 1-12(b), which require state agencies to disclose certain exempt transactions with annual value exceeding $100,000 to the procurement bulletin.

The single active contract reported for June 2026 is dietician services with Health Technologies Inc., valued at $112,200 annually, running from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029 (three-year term). This contract is exempt under Section 1-10(b)(3) as a "Purchase of Care" transaction, a classification that allows DHS to procure certain healthcare and human services without competitive bidding.

The form serves as transparent public notice of procurement activities falling outside standard competitive procurement requirements. Illinois law recognizes 19 categories of exempt procurement activities, including purchases of care, individual employee hiring, real estate acquisitions, litigation preparation, conservation foundation expenditures, public-private partnerships, professional services, and specialized programs such as medical cannabis implementation and newborn screening services. No competitive procurement opportunity is available to external bidders.
